Successful sports teams make sure that the right person is playing the correct position. Too many forwards in a football team will create gaps in the defence. In the work situation the same principle applies. Too many of one style will create gaps in other areas of the team.The Personal Team Style Profile uses the DISC system originally developed by William Marston Moulton to identify introverted/extroverted as well as task focused/socially focused aspects of a team member's behaviour. The profile is ideal for team building, leadership, selling and negotiation skills courses as well as job interview and selection.
